20: KENNY FLORIAN: LIVING UNDEFINED, MOVING TOWARDS CHALLENGES, THE EVOLUTION OF YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF.
Kenny Florian aka "Ken-Flo" is many things by way of accomplishments in his life to date.
He is a true martial artist who holds a third degree blackbelt in Brasilian JiuJitsu, a MIxed-Martial Artist + UFC legend (He fought in 4 separate weight divisions) a commentary/analyst for UFC Tonight, a podcast co- host on the "Anik & Florian" podcast, owner of The Meraki Brasilian JitJitsu Academy, a husband and a daddy to his new beautiful baby girl.
Beyond his incredible professional accomplishments, what makes Kenny so inspiring is the mental framework he operates from that has allowed him to accomplish the great list of achievements in his life. A mindset that continues to grow his authentic expression to come out in his life and continue making a genuine, positive mark in this world.
It takes so much heart, fortitude, perseverance and truth to live a path like Kenny's. His curiosity, perspective and continuous reach to go deeper into himself and farther in his life is so motivating to witness.
I absolutely LOVE the depth, the venerability, the empowerment and truth that lives within our rich conversation. I hope it stirs your heart and elevates your mind as deeply as I feel it will.
